Joseph Haydn's tomb contains one body and two skulls 💀💀.
When Haydn died in 1809, one of his fans bribed 💰 the local undertaker into giving him Haydn’s head.
Some years later, a Hungarian prince wanted to build Haydn a big, marble tomb. He had the composer dug up, only to find out that Haydn was missing his head.
The prince then tracked down the head-stealing fan but the fan gave the prince a different skull and hid the real one.
After the fan's death, Haydn's head was passed down several times until it ended up with one of the prince's descendants.
In 1954, the head was finally reunited with the rest of the body, and now Haydn’s tomb has two skulls in it.
